It supposedly is a true story of the Burpo’s family in Nebraska whose 4 year old boy visits heaven and reveals what he saw. In a small farming town the father of Colton is a Protestant pastor, a volunteer fireman and he’s trying to understand his son’s shocking experience. The one thing that stood out for me was when Colton tells Mom that he met his sister in heaven – that she died in Mommies tummy – and that she has no name because Mommy never named her. If this story is true, and they claim it is, then Jesus is telling us very powerfully that babies early conceived and not yet born already have an eternal soul, just as our Church teaches, and they are human beings not useless “blobs of tissue.” In the eyes of Jesus they are souls precious and loved. Colton tells how his never-born sister hugged him long and hard in heaven. The abortion industry must hate this movie, it shatters everything claim they have about unborn children, or embryos, or zygotes and yet the book and movie are immensely popular. Perhaps this story will change attitudes regarding abortions in America – I pray it does.

During this Easter Season, however, it is interesting to pay attention to the spiritual truth that we never stop being drawn into the mystery of God's grace working within us throughout Initiation. For example, the effects of our Baptism (oneness with Jesus Christ, freedom from sin, membership in the Church, His Body, the pledge of liberation and eternal life) all of these are best understood as deepening their effects within us as we mature in faith. All of these internal spiritual transformations require our ongoing consent and participation for their effects to be fully realized. In simple terms, we need to daily say YES to our identification with Christ, YES to Christ in the good deeds and moral choices that we make, YES to Christ in our active participation in Saint Joan of Arc and YES to a joyful and miraculous future in heaven. Our participation as an active member of the Body of Christ is most profoundly expressed when we gather with the community of the Baptized to worship the Father in union with Christ and with the power of the Holy Spirit. We are fed with the bread and wine transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ in order that we might continue to be transformed into more powerful spiritual witnesses. The Word of God is also meant to be digested along with the Body and Blood of Christ so that we might have purpose and direction in our life of witnessing. The transformation of which I speak is not done magically but in such a way as to respect our freedom and engage our wills. God's grace builds upon and perfects human nature only with our active participation and when with all of our strength we say YES! As we all shout out the AMEN together at Mass, the Holy Spirit joins with us in one great song of praise to the Father. The Holy Eucharist has united us and joined us to Christ from the very beginning of Catholicism. It is His way of always keeping alive in us His Presence and Power for our salvation and that of the whole world. The final phase of our ongoing initiation is accomplished through the power of the Holy Spirit that enlivened us and first filled us with new energy during our Confirmation. The Holy Spirit's presence within us today is evidenced by the presence of the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. Prominent among them are: peace, patience, forgiveness, joy and hope. The life of the initiated is an ongoing evolution in virtue, character, strength of purpose and courage. In our confrontations with evil as a SOLDIER OF CHRIST, we have the sword and armor of God's presence and life within us. The Holy Spirit never will leave us defenseless as we exercise our adult Christian faith in a sometimes-hostile world. Confirmation seals and completes the effects of our Baptism and readies us for the challenges that always lie ahead. So during this Holy Easter Season, it is good for us to thank God everyday for our journey of faith and our ongoing initiation into fullness of life in Christ Jesus. - Msgr. Michael D.

JOAN OF ARC CATHOLIC CHURCH St. Joan of Arc celebrated the sacrament of First Holy Eucharist with 220 children and their families on Saturday, May 10. The First Communicants worked very hard all year, praying and studying, to be ready to receive Jesus, the Bread of Life, for the first time. The parish rejoices with them, and gives thanks to our priests, deacons, Religious Education and school teachers, and all the parents and grandparents who helped prepare our youngsters for this very special and holy day in their journey of faith at St. Joan of Arc Church.

SUNDAY, JUNE 1 at 6:00 pm Following the 5:00pm Mass in Mercy Center Cecilia Chinchilla has joined our SJA family as our Youth Director. Come and meet her, share your ideas and hear what she is planning for our Youth Group! PIZZA & SODA WILL BE SERVED PARISH LITURGY COMMITTEE "MODIFICATION OF SUNDAY MASS SCHEDULE" Starting June 1st, 2014, the 7:00am and 8:00am Masses will be combined to 7:30am Mass. It will still be a ‘quiet Mass’ to respect the silence of the 7:00AM but Traditional Parts of the Mass will be sung like the Entrance, Gospel Acclamation, Offertory, Communion, and Recessional Hymns. We trust this new 7:30AM Mass schedule will be accepted gracefully as a necessary response to pastoral realities. This schedule modification was approved by Msgr. Michael McGraw and by the St. Joan of Arc Pastoral Team and The Liturgy Committee. May we give our whole heart and soul to God whenever we participate the Holy Eucharist. - Father Jimmy B.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF FAITH FORMATION AND RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Last Saturday we experienced the power of the Eucharist made present in the smiling faces of 220 children who received Jesus for the first time. Moments like this make the hard work of the Catechists, volunteers and assistants worthwhile. Sharing the treasury of faith with others is always more of a gift for the sharer. Again and again, I hear our Catechists and volunteers say they have received more than they have given. That is the LOVE of God! He will always be overly generous in giving us his grace and mercy. As I sit preparing the calendar for the 2014-2015 catechetical year, I can’t help but to wonder who will be the recipients of such awesome grace next year. As I try to balance the dates for registration, parent meetings, first reconciliation, special events and everything else that makes a program run smoothly, I can’t help but to thank from the bottom of my heart all the men and women, young and old, all the teens who so generously gave of their time week after week to prepare around 500 children in our Religious Education program. Thanks to all of you! The success of the Religious Education program could not be possible without you. Only God can pay for your generosity with his mercy and his love. And I can’t forget the parents and families who commit to the faith formation of their children. They are the first catechists of their children. Religious Education simply reinforces the daily work of parents in educating their children in the faith with their example. As the summer months arrive and we take time to rest and prepare for next year, I look forward to next year starting again. Who will be the children coming back to continue their formation? Who will be the newcomers? Who will be the new volunteers? Who will be the parents signing up to help as Catechists, Catechist Aides, Office assistants, Hall Monitors? Who will be the parents coming to the new Parent Formation Program? So many questions waiting for an answer next fall. Meanwhile, I pray… I pray for our families and our children that they keep “growing in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men”. (LK. 2:52). Have a joyful, restful and safe summer.

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: In this ever changing, fast paced atmosphere of instant world-wide communication, the Church must be prepared to keep up with the demands of modern technology as well as the new forms of communication. Through various forms of communication the Church attempts to bring the message of the Gospel to a world that at times seems disconnected from the reality of faith, hope and love. On the weekend of May 17 and 18 a special collection for the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC) and the Catholic University of America will be taken in our parishes. Half of the proceeds from the CCC collection remain within the Diocese to support our local communication efforts, like the television Mass, the Florida Catholic newspaper, our diocesan website and electronic newsletters. On a national level, the CCC supports the development and production of a wide range of media initiatives carried out by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Catholic University of America, under the direction of the United States Bishops and chartered by the Vatican, communicates the faith through the education of priests, religious and laity, who serve both the Church and society. Your support helps countless numbers of students who will experience a Catholic education grounded in the Catholic tradition. Together we are called to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to communicate His message to all generations. Thank you for taking part in the Catholic Communication Campaign. With gratitude and every prayerful wish, I am Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Gerald M.

(Confesiones todos los Sábados a las 5:45pm (antes de la Santa Misa) en la capilla) “Nuestro principal apostolado como cristianos consiste en crear en el mundo un ambiente de auténtica caridad” V DOMINGO DE PASCUA, CICLO ASAN JUAN 14, 1-12 SER JUSTO El salmo de hoy nos habla de la justicia: “Aclamen justos al Señor que merece la alabanza de los buenos”. “Que Tu Misericordia Señor venga a nosotros, como lo esperamos de Ti”. El origen, la gran fuerza que mueve al hombre justo, es el amor a Cristo; cuanto más fieles al Señor seamos, más justos seremos, más comprometidos estaremos con la verdadera justicia. Un cristiano sabe que el prójimo, el “otro”, es Cristo mismo, presente en los demás, de modo particular en los más necesitados. “Sólo desde la fe se comprende qué es lo que de verdad nos jugamos con la justicia o la injusticia de nuestros actos: acoger o rechazar a Jesucristo”. Este es el gran motor de nuestras acciones. Esto es lo que sólo los cristianos, mediante la MAYO ES EL MES DE MARÍA: La Iglesia ha alentado esta devoción hacia la Santísima Virgen. Por dos rescriptos, del 21 de marzo de 1815 y del 18 de junio de 1822, Pío VII concede las indulgencias siguientes, aplicables a las almas del Purgatorio: Una indulgencia plenaria a perpetuidad, a ser ganada una vez en el mes de mayo, el mismo día de la comunión, por todos los fieles católicos, que, todos los días de este mes, honren especialmente a la Santísima Virgen, sea en público, sea en privado, mediante homenajes, ejercicios piadosos o actos de virtud. Una indulgencia parcial de trescientos días para cada día del mes en que se haya rendido a María un homenaje público o particular. fe, podemos ver: Cristo nos espera en nuestros hermanos. “Porque tuve hambre y no me disteis de comer, tuve sed... “ Omisiones: “Cada vez que dejasteis de hacerlo con uno de mis hermanos más pequeños, dejasteis de hacerlo conmigo”. “Hay que reconocer a Cristo, que nos sale al encuentro, en nuestros hermanos”. Bastaría examinar nuestro espíritu de atención, de respeto, de afán de justicia, enriquecido por la caridad, para conocer con qué fidelidad seguimos a Cristo. Y al revés, si es profundo y verdadero el trato y el amor a Cristo, ese trato y ese amor se desbordan inconteniblemente hacia los demás. Ama a Cristo y amaras a tu hermano, ama a tu hermano y amaras a Cristo ADVOCACIONES MARIANAS DE NUESTROS PAÍSES.

Como miembros de Santa Juana de Arco la comunidad hispana contribuimos semanalmente con el ofertorio, continuemos siendo generosos con nuestra aportación. La participación de todos los feligreses es esencial para el éxito de nuestros ministerios apostólicos. MAY 18 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 15 MINISTERIO HISPANO AVISOS PARROQUIALES PORQUE ES IMPORTANTE REGISTRARSE COMO MIEMBROS DE LA PARROQUIA. Es muy importante que participemos en nuestra comunidad como miembros activos de la parroquia registrándonos en la oficina y utilizando el sobre en la Misa (en lugar de dejar la contribución sin sobre). De esta manera la parroquia conoce quienes somos y que participamos activamente de las Misas y demás liturgias. A la hora de pedir los sacramentos (Bautismo, Confirmación, Primera comunión, Matrimonio y funerales) para nuestros hijos o ahijados se nos preguntara si hemos sido miembros por lo menos durante tres meses, (seis para matrimonio), si estamos registrados como miembros activos de la parroquia se podrá comprobar fácilmente, el solo asistir a Misa regularmente no es suficiente para que la parroquia nos reconozca como sus miembros. Por favor no deje de registrarse para evitar inconvenientes en la hora de pedir los sacramentos. Gracias. Oremos hoy por nuestros hermanos hispanos de las 25 parroquias que participan este domingo 18 de mayo en el ENCUENTRO DIOCESANO DE PASTORAL HISPANA.
